Summary:
Brooklyn Rise Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Brooklyn Rise Charter School district. With a total enrollment of 300 students, the school has faced academic challenges, as evidenced by its declining statewide ranking and below-average proficiency rates on New York state assessments.
While the school's per-student spending is relatively high at $25,805 and its student-teacher ratio is small at 11.5 to 1, these resources have not yet translated into stronger academic outcomes. In the 2024-2025 school year, proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 40% to 56%, compared to statewide averages of 50.86% to 56.61%. In Math, proficiency rates ranged from 43.28% to 53.85%, below the statewide averages of 51.2% to 59.7%. The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 31.58% also fell short of the statewide average of 45.02%.
Despite the school's challenges, it serves a high-need population, with 90.33% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's district rank of 673 out of 874 in New York and its 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that more work is needed to improve student outcomes and overall school performance at Brooklyn Rise Charter School within the Brooklyn Rise Charter School district.
